Seasonal Variation of Diurnal Cycle of Rainfall in the Eastern Equatorial Indian Ocean
(SpringerLink, 2006)The diurnal cycle of rainfall over the eastern equatorial Indian Ocean is studied for the period 23rd October 2001 to 31st October 2003 using the hourly data from the Triton buoy positioned at 1.5°S and 90°E. An analysis ... -
Impact of convection over the equatorial trough on the summer monsoon activity over India
(Taylor & Francis, 2005)The cause for the disruption of rainfall (break in monsoon conditions) over the Indian subcontinent during the monsoon months, for the period, 1979 – 1998, are investigated using the pentad rainfall data from the Global ... -
Preamble to marine microbiology: Facets and opportunities
(Goa: National Inst of Oceanography, 2004)The book titled 'Marine Microbiology: Facets & Opportunities' is an attempt to bring together some facets of marine microbiology as have been made out by many contemporaries in particular from the tropical marine regions. ... -
Sedimentation of Particulate Organic Matter in the Dona Paula Bay, West Coast of India during November to May 1995-97.
(Estuarine Research Federation, USA, 2000)Data on hydrography, nutrients, suspended and sedimented particles were collected at weekly interval from November to May during 1995 to 1997 at a station in the coastal waters of Dona Paula Bay. Suspended and sedimented ... -
Biotransformation of citrinin to decarboxycitrinin using an organic solvent-tolerant marine bacterium, Moraxella sp. (MB1)
(Springer, 2006)Organic solvent tolerant microorganisms (OSTM) are novel group of extremophilic microorganisms that have developed resistance to withstand solvent toxicity. These organisms play an important role in biotransformation of ... -
Air Sea Interaction Over the Indian Ocean During the Contrasting Monsoon Years 2002 and 2003
(American Geophysical Union, 2005)The air sea interaction processes over the Indian Ocean are studied using the satellite data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Satellite for two contrasting monsoon years, namely 2002 (deficit) and 2003 (normal). ... -
Anomalous inland influx of the River Indus, Gulf of Kachchh, India
(Elsevier, 2006)The Gulf of Kachchh is a funnel shaped, macrotidal water body located in the arid region of northwestern India with ~ 50 cm annual rainfall and insignificant fluvial input. The Gulf waters, however, have high-suspended ... -
Bacterial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS): A carrier of heavy metals in the marine food-chain
(Elsevier, 2006)The ecological implications of metal binding properties of bacterial EPS and its possible role in the bioaccumulation of pollutants in the marine food-chain was investigated using a partially purified and chemically ... -
Comment on "The Great Sumatra-Andaman Earthquake of 26 December 2004"
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2005)Lay et al. (Special Section, 20 May 2005, p.1127) estimated a 600-km length for the tsunami source region. Adding tide-gauge data from Paradip, the northernmost of the Indian east-coast stations and therefore the most ... -
Impact of sea breeze on the wind-seas off Goa, west coast of India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2006)After withdrawal of the Indian Summer Monsoon and until onset of the next monsoon, i.e. roughly during November-May, winds in the coastal region of India are dominated by sea breeze. It has an impact on the daily cycle of ... -
Algal Bloom: Boon or Bane?
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2006)Algal blooms occur in response to nutrient deplete or replete conditions. Nitrogen fixing forms proliferate under oligotrophic conditions when nutrient levels are low. Replete conditions in response to upwelling creates ... -
Dynamics of transparent exopolymeric particles (TEP) and particle-associated carbohydrates in the Dona Paula bay, west coast of India
(Indian National Science Academy, 2006)Surface seawater samples were collected over a period 33 of 27 months at a shallow water station in Dona Paula bay from 1998-2000. The samples were analyzed to assess the seasonal variations, inter-annual variability and ... -
Studies on some aspects of marine microbial exopolysaccharides
(2003)In this thesis, a study on the dynamics of three types of EPS viz. NaClsoluble EPS, EDTA-soluble EPS and TEP was carried out at a shallow tropical station at the Dona Paula Bay, west coast of India during 1998-2000. During ... -
Computation of aquatic primary production: Extended formalism to include effect of angular and spectral distribution of light
(American Society of Limnology and Oceanography, 1989)With a new spectral model of the underwater light field and an extended formalism for the light-saturation curve, it is shown that the angular distribution of-underwater light has to be considered to account correctly for ... -
Variations in the spectral values of specific absorption of phytoplankton
(American Society of Limnology and Oceanography, 1987)Absorption spectra of laboratory cultures of eight species of phytoplankton were studied. These spectra, normalized per unit of chlorophyll a concentration (specific absorption) show variability in magnitude and spectral ... -
Phytoplankton Identification Manual
(National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, 2004)Marine phytoplankton which constitutes diatoms, dinoflagellates, blue-green algae, silicoflagellates, cocolithophors etc. contributes about 95% of primary production in the oceans. On this depends the secondary production ... -
Seaweeds - a field manual
(National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, 2004)Seaweeds ! are not mere weeds but are valued marine plants. The multifacet uses of these plants in food, chemical and textile industries, agriculture, pharmaceuticals and medicine have been well recognized. Our Indian ... -
Upper ocean physical processes in the Tropical Indian Ocean
(National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, 2005)This monograph is the outcome of an attempt by the authors to present a synthesis of the studies on physical processes in the Tropical Indian Ocean (TIO) in relation to air-sea interaction, monsoon/climate variability and ... -
Impact of dredging on water quality and group diversity of marine zooplankton during construction and reclaimation activities of new berths at Mormugao Harbour, Goa.
(2005)Pelagic and benthic communities in the near shore marine environment are subject to siltation process arising from natural causes or human activities. These could act as stress factors to the living organisms. Dredging ... -
Production of macroaggregates from dissolved exopolymeric substances (EPS) of bacterial and diatom origin
(Elsevier, 2005)Exopolymeric substance (EPS) isolated from a pure culture of the marine bacterium Marinobacter sp. and the marine diatom Skeletonema costatum (axenic) were partially purified, chemically characterized and used as dissolved ...
